AN: Thanks y'all. Love 'em reviews. I think that I am going to try and make
this around ten chapters if not more. I can put more detail in, or not.
Input from reviewers would be appreciated on how long they want this or how
detailed.
Mavis isn't going to leave me alone so for sure I will write more on her. I just don't know where or when. Hmmmm.
Any way....This is at Jack's hanging at the end of the movie.
Chapter 3.
Jack stood at the top of the gallows looking out into the crowd. //And so it ends. I never even saw my twin again. It has been twenty six years and I haven't heard a single word of her. I wonder if she's dead.// He sighed. The wind pulled at his hair and his hair beads clinked together. At least he would die by the sea that stole his heart and life and was his only freedom. The sea called his name, his heart ached for the sea, and the wind whispered his name in his ear. //The time will come so very soon that in death I will be free.//
"Impersonating a member of the church.." Jack grinned at the executioner at the rum-filled memory. Maybe that was why the executioner didn't like him, he did confess all of his sins to a pirate. So did the governor. The executioner glared at him. Jack coughed and turned back to face the hungry eyes of the crowd. He saw a feathered hat in the crowd, //must be Will// He thought sadly. Jack spotted Elizabeth at the back //I hope she's happy.// he thought sincerely.
Only one person in the crowd saw the shadow in his eyes. The historians would right that he went out smiling and screaming bloody murder. But one person saw in his eyes defeat, sadness, guilt, pain, and sorrow.
No one paid attention to the tall and skinny woman dressed all in rags with a twenty six year old shawl draped around her head to hide her face. In her hands she held a music box. If anyone took the time to look into her eyes they would see all of the emotions that played in her twins and one: Hate.
//How dare he.// Mavis thought to her self, //he robbed me of my life and now he robs me of my revenge. And he is robbed of his redemption.// She didn't say a word. The drums started their roll, She noticed a man part the crowds with shouts and curses. He hurled a sword that hit the trapdoor and Jack landed on it. She saw his struggle to maintain his balance on the slippery sword with his heeled boots.
The man who threw the sword was fighting the executioner, the executioner's sword bit into the wood holding the rope and her twin fell. Mavis watched the prevailing fight with her outward face calm but her entrails twisting into many knots. She was fingering her pistol silently contemplating shooting her twin.
Jack quickly sliced the rope binds off of his wrists and grabbed one end while Will grabbed the other after flipping off the side of the gallows. Jack wondered how Will's hat managed to stay on his head. The two of them ran up the stairs tripping the regulars with the rope and slamming them against the walls, to somersault and be surrounded by lobster backs. //Thank you Will.// Jack thought silently. //but you, like your father before you, will die because you helped me. To know me is to die. Even Barbossa knew me and I killed him. Once I called him friend.//
Governor Swann, Elizabeth and Norrington came face to face with him and Will. Jack paid close attention to what they were saying, making certain to grin when he was called 'a good man'. Then Elizabeth stepped in front of the baronet's. Swann ordered the muskets down and Jack made a point to get cocky then. //I'm going to live!// he thought to himself. Then he got gloomy again. I am going to live. I'll have to face my demons sooner or later.
Jack saw a flutter of wings out of the corner of his eye. It was Mr. Cotton's bird. //I haven't been abandoned.// Jack grinned and started blurting out random things, secretly enjoying the disgusted looks. He said something really stupid about Will's hat(even though he really did like it) and something about it never working between us to Elizabeth(which was said purely for her annoyance.) and promptly fell off the top of the wall into the ocean.
Mavis watched Jack fall and put her gun away. Soon she would meet Jack again. The rest of the peasants left leaving Will and Elizabeth on the top of the stairs looking out to Jacks form. A regular with his spyglass shouted about a ship. Sure enough there was The Black Pearl on the horizon rescuing their water run rat like captain.
Then the ship turned and left. Norrington called Will's name.
"This is a beautiful sword, I trust that the maker of the sword will put that skill into all of his life." Mavis saw it for what it was. A comment to hide the true feelings and a broken heart.
"Thank you." Will said, having nothing better to say.
"What about Jack Sparrow." A soldier asked.
"I think a day or two head start won't hurt." Norrington replied off handedly.
"Perhaps Piracy in itself is the most honorable way to go." G. Swann said. Norrington gave a slight nod and left with his garrison.
"Is this where your heart truly lies then?" G. Swann asked his daughter. Mavis watched them from a corner hidden in shadow.
"It is." She replied.
"But, he's a blacksmith." G. Swann tried desperately.
"No, he's a pirate." Elizabeth turned and gazed into Will's eyes. //No, he's a blacksmith accused of piracy, not a pirate.// Mavis thought. Then the two kissed. Mavis rolled her eyes at them and sighed. //Get a room.// she thought.
Then she turned and left. In time she and Jack would meet.
